CHP Officer Pulls Children From Burning Car in Monterey

CHP HERO: Monterey Herald director of photography Vern Fisher just happened to be driving south on Hwy 1 this morning when he "saw an explosion of smoke and flames" coming from the car in front of him. Moments later he was capturing this dramatic video of CHP Officer Kaleo Clissold rescuing two small children from the burning vehicle … without much help from the adult passengers in front. http://nbcbay.com/WBvAGLnLIKE (or show some LOVE) to commend Officer Clissold on a job well done.

The officer said he just ‘happened to be behind the vehicle’ when the fire broke out.
